Liquiteria has apparently closed on 4th Avenue

The Liquiteria on the northeast corner of Fourth Avenue and 13th Street is no longer in business...



EVG regular Laura pointed this out to us late last week, noting the store had been closed in recent days. It appears all three Liquiteria locations in the city shuttered. Their website is no longer active and the phone numbers are disconnected. (Perhaps this means that they'll be a liquidation for Liquiteria?)

The original Liquiteria opened on Second Avenue and East 11th Street in 1996, long before the juice/smoothie craze took hold. Founder Doug Green sold the business several years ago to a group of investors who then opened several more outposts.

The Second Avenue location closed in October 2018.

A new Citi Bike station arrives on 4th Avenue

From the EVG tipline — news of a new Citi Bike docking station on Fourth Avenue at 12th Street... this one holds 34 bikes...



A reader thought this one replaced the docking station on 12th Street west of Third Avenue. That one remains, however...

A new home for the A Repeat Performance sign

Back on Wednesday, we noted that the old A Repeat Performance sign from the now-closed bric-a-brac shop at 156 First Ave. needed a new home.

The fine folks who run the East Village Vintage Collective on 12th Street are now the proud new owners. No word yet what they have planned for the classic sign.

A Repeat Performance closed last July after 39 years in business.

Saturday's parting shot

Here's Amelia, one of the resident red-tailed hawks, enjoying this spring-like day today atop the St. Nicholas of Myra Orthodox Church on Avenue A and 10th Street ... thanks to Steven for the photo.

Sublet of the day

EVG reader Jackflashnyc shares this photo... showing a spacious sublet — 6 square feet — available on Seventh Street between Avenue A and First Avenue. Price: a modest $3,750.

It likely won't be on the market long — Rainer Turim reports that there's already plenty of interest in the space...

Friday's parting shot

An EVG tipster shared this tribute to David Bowie from outside the Broadway-Lafayette station. Today marks the fourth anniversary of the death of Bowie, who lived nearby with his wife Iman.

Station to Station was Bowie's 10th studio album, which included the single "Golden Years."

Heroes

David Bowie died on this day in 2016. The video here is a live version of "Life on Mars?" — one of my all-time favorite songs.
